Israeli RCN

[plloyd1010]

As I was making graphics for the extension for the IDF, I noticed that the Israeli RCN unit has a movement of 3, not 4 like other recon infantry.

Should Israeli RCN have a movement of 4? Dr. Mike hasn't answered my query yet.

They were in Jeeps in 1967, and highly mobile, just like contemporary US scouts. So, I would say, yes.

Dismounted, my old scout platoon could reconnoiter a linear 600-800 meter transect in 15 minutes, on flat terrain. The speed when on foot will depend on the terrain to be covered on the TEC.

How far could your young scout platoon reconnoiter?

[treadasaurusrex]

When not under fire, probably all the way to Naco.

Especially if there was cold beer at the finish line for the boys.

Yes, RCN units should have 4 movement points. 
Rules for recon units (Spotting, inherent leader) have been forgotten in PG Modern.
New edition will include them.

Dismounted...

I always thought it was "death before dismount" for you tread-head types?

Traditional Armor BN scouts always dismount to identify the enemy, so that tank crews don't have to.
